Research
My research and teaching focus is on the biosphere-atmosphere exchanges of greenhouse gases, water and energy, with the primary goal to understand the interactions between the boreal forest landscape and the climate system. I conduct detailed studies of land-atmosphere fluxes in forest and peatland ecosystems while aiming at reconciling their budgets and drivers at the boreal landscape scale. My research also addresses the implications from forest management and global change on biosphere-atmosphere interactions.
